Kind of hard to implement logistically, though. A quiet month overall doesn't mean the moot won't blow up. Until we start the moot it's sometimes hard to predict how it will go, so if we start it 2 weeks before the full moon, it's dead, we end early... then regardless, people are sitting on information until the full moon. And I don't want to divorce moots from the moon phase; that's too important to gameplay.
Liz's point about how much time and effort players put into writing things for the songs and tales is extremely valid to me, too; that comes easier and faster to some people than others, but no one should feel like they can't participate in that section or play a Galliard because it takes them 4 days to write what someone else does in 45 minutes (for whatever reason!). That would bum me out.
Sidebar: this is the selfish part, but it's also part of how this site functions as well as it does. Having the moot be consistent is easier on me when it comes to managing it. I know there will be times, just due to General Life Crap, when I won't be able to be as attentive to the game and be able to know when the moot should start/end. It's just 'one more thing'.
That said, I will think about it. Because flexibility yay.
